Kenneth Miers

Kenneth Miers, born on March 14, 1957, in Seattle, Washington, passed away on September 25, 2024. A devoted husband, father, and brother, Kenneth was known for his love of the outdoors, spending his days riding his John Deere tractor, fishing, and hunting. He found solace in the words of Louis L'Amour, his favorite author, and worked as a dedicated lab employee in the chemical industry at Westvaco for 38 years before retiring.

Kenneth's heart was as big as his passion for his work, as he adored his family and all children, especially his grandchildren. His compassion extended to animals as well. He never hesitated to rescue strays, whether they were found on the side of the road or in parking lots, he even brought home a stray rooster once. His love for the simple country life made him a humble and down-to-earth man.

Kenneth is survived by his loving wife of thirty-three years, Anne Miers of DeRidder, LA; daughter, Sara Miller and Sean of Baytown, TX; brothers, David Miers of Singer, LA, Jimmy Miers and Rachel of Singer, LA and Michael Miers of Merryville, LA, sister, Lorraine Kerbow and Don of Singer, LA; grandchildren, Kaitlin Dobson and Taylor, Brandon Edwards, Tracie Carney, Madison Miller and Hunter, McKenzie Miller; great grandchildren, Addison, Henley, Bristol, Barrett, Brennon, Autumn, Brenden; nieces and nephews, Chris Miers, Brandon Miers, Kelsy Miers, Leanna Miers, Cody Miers, Letishia Miers, Kayla White, Kelli Tankersley, Alex Kerbow, Michael Jarrell and a host of great nieces and nephews, cousins, family and friends.
